    Do you know how to get into the BIOS or setup.

    When the logo comes up, on the bottom of the screen prompts will come up, (setup=F10).

    The key that links to the setup is what you need to press.

    In the BIOS, you need to check if your hard drive is detected.

    I am a hardware guy not a software guy but i try to help.

The script will extract the latest folder based on the folder name only, not actual creation or written time.Good luck.@echo off cls setlocal cd /d G:\xxxxxxxx for /f "tokens=*" %%1 in ('dir /b /ad /on prod*') doRead more

    tried the battery testing method
    Not sure what you mean.

    Do you mean this sequence, which is always worth a try?:
    Turn off laptop, remove power, remove battery, hold Power Off/On down for about 20 seconds to discharge the motherboard components. Re-assemble and hope you are lucky – it works at odd times.

    Otherwise there are many possibilities but as it is getting worse it sounds like hardware. Make sure the case vents are clean in case it is overheating.

    Is the battery charging?

    Is it the same when running from the battery alone?

    Did you do anything immediately before this happened?

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

    281MB is a good start, but don’t ask us if it’s enough or not — are you still having the issue?

    I would steer away from using Compression to save disk space. Microsoft says it won’t affect performance, but i’ve experienced issues with this in the past – especially because you actually need as much free space as a file would require, UNcompressed, in order to move it on or off the drive.

    your Hard Disk Drive (HDD) looks like about 250GB total? If it is full of programs and applications, i would suggest making sure you still need all those apps installed, otherwise consider uninstalling them. If you have a lot of photots/movies/music on the drive, i would suggest you consider aquiring another internal HDD, or an external drive, to store your media. Movies and Music in particular can take up a lot of space, and do not need to live on the system partition (C:\).

    If you’ve already run Disk Cleanup, here’s another good place to check for files you can delete: in a Windows Explorer window (My Computer, My Documents, any window) go to Tools, Folder Options, click the View tab, and switch to “Show hidden files and folders.” Then go to C:\Windows, and you should see a bunch of hidden folders, probably with blue names instead of black, named something like “$NtUninstallKB9778338$.” These are temp files from Windows Updates. IF you KNOW that you will NOT need to UNINSTALL any windows updates, these folders can be safely deleted, but keep in mind that after deleting, you will not be able to uninstall any Windows Updates.

    Another good program for deleting junk files is “CCleaner.” Helps identify junk files and junk registry keys.

    “WinDirStatPortable” is also useful in determining which folders in your C:\ partition are taking up the most space.

  9. Gee, where to begin. Well there is a dos sata cdrom driver--gcdrom.sys. You'd need to add it to your bootdisk and edit a line to load it in config.sys. That's a dos driver and I don't think there's a windows 98 driver for a sata cdrom. So even if you get 98 loaded I don't think it will see the sataRead more

    Gee, where to begin. Well there is a dos sata cdrom driver–gcdrom.sys. You’d need to add it to your bootdisk and edit a line to load it in config.sys. That’s a dos driver and I don’t think there’s a windows 98 driver for a sata cdrom. So even if you get 98 loaded I don’t think it will see the sata cdrom.

    I don’t think the 98 cd is going to see a sata hard drive, if that’s what you have, even in IDE mode. Although if you can get the files copied to the drive you may be able to do the install.

    98 isn’t going to install with 8 gig of ram. You need to lower it to 512 meg or less to do the install. Then there are some tweaks that should work to allow 98 to function with 7 1/2 gig of unnecessary ram.

    And of course you’ll need to find 98 drivers for the motherboard hardware.

    You might be better off finding an old P-III to install 98 on.

    Edit What happens if you boot from the 98 cd instead of using a bootdisk?
